Chapter 247: 244. The other coven leaders
Arriving at the massive doors of the castle, Dexter couldn't help but be astonished at how large this building was.
Over three hundred meters tall, it made Dexter wonder what exactly Dracula had to do with this structure.
Before he headed inside, Asher appeared in front of the door and then he shook his head.
"Although I don't know how you managed to kill the unkillable shadows. You have impressed me," Asher said and then his legs touched the ground for the first time.
"This is the castle of count Dracula. It is a historical place and the origin of all vampires. Before you go in and the real battle begins, let me tell you about what you will face within..." Asher said and then they all listened carefully.
The castle had a total of ten floors. Getting the top and implanting a coven's flag in a flag pole is the goal. This is where the real carnage starts as the vampires are mercilessly killed by those stronger than them.
The castle was the real battle ground.
...
Upon entering the castle, Dexter saw a large hall which was already filled with vampires, most injured and healing.
All of them turned towards Dexter who held a black flag which had the symbol of a golden sun on it.
This was the flag Dexter chose to represent his coven.
"The rest of the coven members should stay here and wait for the leader to come back. All vampire knights in the coven should come along," Asher said and then Dexter, along with Kila, Lily, and his brothers had to use a spiralling staircase going upwards.
Dexter felt like he was back in the medieval times. The castle was made with ashen bricks and there were various tapestries and flag decorations on the walls along with weapons hanged too.
Dexter soon arrived in a room with a round table and he saw two people there already sitted. They glanced over at the new face they were seeing.
The first one was a woman with long red hair and golden coloured eyes. Her skin was flawless and the battle armour she wore resembled something from the medieval times. The second one was a man who had long dreadlocks, his green eyes gazed at Dexter with a stern Calmness and Dexter controlled himself well.
Both of them had two people behind them and they stared at the four people behind Dexter.
*"The other leaders of covens will soon arrive. For now, sit down and wait and this is where you'll familiarize yourself with them before battle."* Asher's voice sounded in his head and he looked beside himself only to see that the warlock was gone.
He took a seat and then the four vampire knights stood behind his chair.
*"What are we going to do now?"* Lily asked and Dexter closed his eyes.
*"We'll wait for the other coven leaders to arrive so we'll familiarize ourselves and whatnot. That's what the warlock said."* Dexter said to them and sighed and then he looked at the man who had much curiousity in his eyes.
"Are they all vampire knights?" The man asked and Dexter nodded before he said in a calm voice.
"Yeah, they are."
The man nodded as he fiddled with his beard. The woman had a hint of shock before but her expression returned back to normal a while after.
"Dominic and Winter?" Dexter asked and the two coven leaders looked at him.
"Well, seems like you already know a bit about us. I wasn't expecting a new coven, especially in an apocalypse," Dominic said and then the woman took spoke.
"What is your name?"
Dexter was flabbergasted by the woman's voice and he looked at her, seemingly calm, but he was very shocked.
Her Italian accent caught him by surprise and he really wanted to hear it again.
"Dexter..." He said his name and Dominic nodded.
"Dominic Sagittarius," The man said and Dexter nodded.
"Winter Drake." Dexter couldn't help but let a small smirk bloom as he heard her voice again and his brothers behind him too had the same thought.
"Dexter... Sunwalker."
...
In another room on the same floor that the coven leaders were. Three witches had already gathered and sat down in a round table of their own.
"To think the new coven would be from that brave vampire that challenged Alexander that time. That's quite a feat," Carina said with a nod.
She was still in her yellow cloak and Veneta spoke up next.
"It doesn't matter. Lucian and that psychotic woman hasn't arrived yet. They're probably taking their time to check the labyrinth," She said and Asher agreed with her.
"With the arrival of a new coven, the future seems uncertain. Since it's a new one, I thought that they wouldn't be able to take care of the shadows but then the leader completely destroyed them, sending them back into the ground to gather their strength," Asher said and the witches that were there were shocked by this.
...
In the labyrinth, a man grabbed shadow soldier by its neck before looking into its eyes and it stabbed his heart.
This white haired man had no expression and the blood from the stab spread all over the spear as if it was alive before it began to seep into the shadow.
The shadow suddenly burst with blood spikes leaking out of its body and then it dissipated.
The blood went back into his body and the wound regenerated in less than five seconds.
"It seems like this is the end of the labyrinth. We'll have to thoroughly check the castle this time," The man said and then a woman came out of his shadow and nodded.
Behind the both of them were more than a thousand people and they all approached the door of the castle with Lisa, the leader of the phoenixfire syndicate waiting for them at the door.

At another part of the labyrinth, a beautiful woman with blue hair and red coloured eyes looked at a shadow with a smile and ice crept on it, freezing it in place.
Even after it turned into mist, it couldn't escape from within the ice.
The woman wore a blue dress that showed her curves and it had a slit on the leg, revealing her thigh highs. She wore a combat dress with a fur cape. The top consisted of a blouse which was made of a net with a completely black section covering her nipples.
"Hahahaha... These poor shadows get like this everytime. I think it's time we head towards the castle, the key fragments aren't in the labyrinth."
